Key new features in CivilStorm V8i (SELECTseries 3):INTEROPERABILITY Common file format with other Bentley sewer and stormwater products: With CivilStorm, StormCAD, SewerGEMS, and SewerCAD\’s new unified file format, the .stws file replaces the .csd, .stc, .swg, and .swc files. This common file format makes modeling teams’ workflows more efficient, since a model created in any one of these products can now be seamlessly opened and edited in another. Updated support for MicroStation: You can run CivilStorm from within MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 3). A MicroStation license is required – if you don\’t have a MicroStation license, you can choose to run CivilStorm in its stand-alone mode. Updated support for AutoCAD: You can run CivilStorm from within AutoCAD 2014 (32- and 64-bit)....

SDS/2 Modeling provides detailers and designers with the ability to utilize only the 3D modeling portion of SDS/2 Detailing. SDS/2 Modeling works exactly like the SDS/2 Detailing software when it comes to 3D model creation and connection design, along with various reporting and status capabilities. In SDS/2 Modeling, users may view and add notes to any details or 2D drawings, but cannot generate new drawings or make any changes. SDS/2 Modeling helps companies maximize the use of SDS/2 software solutions. Model builders can use SDS/2 Modeling to create the model — which can then be either imported back into SDS/2 Engineering for analysis or taken to SDS/2 Drafting to be detailed. Essentially, it allows companies with multiple SDS/2 licenses to...

ProSteel provides detailing for structural steel and metal work and ProConcrete detailing and scheduling of reinforced insitu/precast and post-tensioned concrete structures. ProStructures enables engineers to reduce documentation production time and assists them in eliminating errors and design flaws and to design and document composite structures. Product Tour Video Gallery Technical Requirements Based on standard platforms, ProStructures easily allows structural engineers, detailers and fabricators to create 3D models for both concrete and steel. ProStructures provides automatic creation of documentation, details and schedules. The open working environment and programming interface supports standardization of the program. Bentley’s ProStructures includes ProSteel and ProConcrete. The automatic creation of documentation and details increases productivity and therefore profitability. The detailing includes miscellaneous steel such as stairs, handrails,...

New Features in SACS V8i SELECTseries 2 (v5.5)Hull Modeler Hull Modeler is a new module within the SACS suite of software. It forms a part of the SACS Marine Enterprise product. A SACS Marine Enterprise license is required to run Hull Modeler. Hull Modeler allows you to create vessel models for use with Stability, Motions and Tow. You can either read an existing barge model from the SACS Vessel Library directory, or you can create your own vessel models using the interactive modeling tools in Hull Modeler. More information on how to use Hull Modeler can be found in the user manual which can be found in the Manuals panel in the SACS Executive or in the Support tab of...

The SAP name has been synonymous with state-of-the-art analytical methods since its introduction over 30 years ago. SAP2000 follows in the same tradition featuring a very sophisticated, intuitive and versatile user interface powered by an unmatched analysis engine and design tools for engineers working on transportation, industrial, public works, sports, and other facilities. From its 3D object based graphical modeling environment to the wide variety of analysis and design options completely integrated across one powerful user interface, SAP2000 has proven to be the most integrated, productive and practical general purpose structural program on the market today. This intuitive interface allows you to create structural models rapidly and intuitively without long learning curve delays. Now you can harness the power of...

Modeling, analysis and design of bridge structures have been integrated into CSiBridge to create the ultimate in computerized engineering tools. The ease with which all of these tasks can be accomplished makes CSiBridge the most versatile and productive software program available on the market today. Using CSiBridge, engineers can easily define complex bridge geometries, boundary conditions and load cases. The bridge models are defined parametrically, using terms that are familiar to bridge engineers such as layout lines, spans, bearings, abutments, bents, hinges and post-tensioning. The software creates spine, shell or solid object models that update automatically as the bridge definition parameters are changed. CSiBridge design allows for quick and easy design and retrofitting of steel and concrete bridges. The parametric...

DICAD Systeme GmbH is one of the leading vendors of CAD杝oftware in the field of formwork and reinforcement planning. STRAKON is a general CAD system for the preparation of all types of construction drawings and has specific modules for structural engineering design. It is a basic 2D-system with 3D extensions. A major advantage of STRAKON is its associative file structure. For example, when the length of an element is modified by moving its formwork outline, all related dimensions, hatches, reinforcement and so forth are automatically adjusted to fit the new shape. This enables you to rapidly, easily and professionally make modifications whenever need arises without extensive extra effort. Those intended to use STRAKON such as designers, engineers and technicians played...
